T-Mobile - Free unlimited GPRS T-Zones

Hi all,

I just discovered that T-Mobile have upgraded their plans (I do not know which ones) to include unlimited T-Zones access via GPRS!

Just thought I'd let people know as T-Mobile have not been advertising it.
 
excelelnt, i've noticed that I had GRPS access but I tought it was a goof up when I changed my plan from the $40 one to the $30 plan.
 
i just got off the phone with T-Mobile and they confirmed it - all accounts now have free basic browsing (picture uploads and the like are still extra)!!!!

oh how i love getting more for nothing!

the best part is that t-mobile is just about the only carrier who isn't tacking on a charge to pay for number portability. most of the other carriers are starting to charge anywhere from $0.50 to $2.00 a month!!!!!!

thanks for the headsup!!!

Once GPRS is back up I am definitely going to try this.
 
so does this mean if i get a blue tooth enabled tmobile phone i can go on the internet at fast speeds on my ipaq and it just uses my minn? ive been waiting for verizon to get a bluetooth phone, but this.....
 
BoKingWen,

Patience is a virtue my friend, they are in the process of enabling everyones accounts. Check your account again in a few days.
 
The free unlimited weekends and free long-distance gave me in-car navigation on the weekends for free.

Here is what I would do:

I found an ISP in the U.S. that offered a dial-up internet connection for free, that did not require you to use gateway software. I then set up a dial-up connection on my laptop to this number and used my cellphone as the modem. Worked like a charm.

Now I am hoping that I can use the GPRS on the cellphone instead of the dial-up, and thus have mobile internet at any time...but we will see...
 
You can only download ringtones, and pictures on this free plan. You cannot browse sites like cnn.com or espn.com (wap pages).

At least that is what T-Mobile told me

If you try other WAP sites you will see that you can indeed browse them. 🙂
 
with my old 9.99 plan I could access GPRS data via *99# with unlimited access.

I paid nothing for being connected all day. That was cool.

I called Customer diservice. I just changed over to the new 4.99 plan that gives me unlimited data. The only thing I loose is the 300 text messages(in) and 100 outgoing msgs. big whoop, I never used that anyway. I can still send pics for free via email through my unlimited gprs connection.
 
what phone have you got lo5750ul?

I use pop email on my phone all the time. dont want to give it up.. can you use that?
 
OK, called an canceled that 4.99 thing I just added.. so, here goes nothing.. If I am able to access the web after about 24hrs, then YEE HA this is hot.

(Sorry I didnt say everything in one post)
 
Too lazy to call T-mobile I wonder the $4.99 unlimited internet plan will work on all the phones in my family plan or just one phone line.

I think for $4.99 a month it is a acceptable price for unlimited interent. The unlimited plan mean the GPRS connection right? If yes I can use my Z600's bluetooth and browse the net on my PDA or laptop than it is a hot deal. 😀

Yeah, you already told us this on FW.

 
Lol VaG, and elsewhere, but not everyone is involved in many other communities.

SuperMAC, I have the Nokia 6610.
 
does that mean I can download ringtones for free using the phone? Sorry, I am new to T-mobile, just got the phone for a week. what do u guys mean by basic internet? I have a samsung E105, how can I download ringtone using the basic internet u guys were referring at without being charged by T-mobile? Thanks
 
Sweet Deal, now just need to upgrade to a phone with WAP. I like my 8390 though it has served me well!
